Everyone ought to discover new passions daily. Between volunteering, tutoring, and working, I have over 10 years of experience to share.Me as a Teacher
I believe in conversational learning. I am a patient and encouraging teacher. I especially love to work with beginners. I also enjoy helping people with written English. I have experience working with all ages and levels. I have props and a white board for interactive learning. My lessons & teaching style
I believe in conversational learning. I grew up in the United States and am a native English speaker. I took four years of formal classroom Spanish. I then moved to Mexico, and trying to dive into natural conversation was a challenge! My goal is to help people have the opportunity to learn English through "real world" conversational practice in topics that are relevant to their life, so they can have an easier transition than I did! This will help them spend less time in culture shock and more time exploring the world the way they want to. Why do you want to learn English? For a career? To travel the world? To socialize with friends? Let's make it happen!My teaching material

Ms Tianna is a great teacher. She had a lesson with my 7 year old daughter and she was such a professional. She understood her strenghts and weakness in language so well and made an excellent lesson plan for next week. We are so happy to meet her.
